Be Nice to Betas

Hi, all. It's writers podcast time and we hit a lot of sweet spots today, starting with the reminder that baseball season starts after today's Super Bowl. Woo, sports ball!

But seriously, folks, CC and I had a fun chat today about our current and upcoming books in 2026, including the St. Patricks Day release of "Finding Salvation." Three novellas in one book. yay!

CC talks about her Restless Series books in which she hopes the second book will be released in April or May. You should really check out the first book.

We spend some time in the podcast praising our partners in our books' creative process: the Beta readers. We are so grateful to these literary warriors for accepting the responsibility of reading and critiquing our manuscripts. Their fresh eyes are so important to produce the best copy possible. We provide ideas and thoughts that are mostly centered on one thought: be nice to your Beta readers. 🫶🫶🫶

Reminders on our upcoming book releases, all in 2026:
March: “Finding Salvation the Book.” This is the compilation of the novellas outlining what happened on Earth when the Salvation departed the solar system. The first novella in on Amazon for 99 cents.
April to June: “Restless Spirits Book 2.” The sequel to #passionrestored, this book will involve new characters in the same setting as Book 1. “Restless Spirits Book 3” may be published here, too.
July: The next “Finding Salvation” book. What happened to the people who were left behind on Earth?
October: Two books will be released on Nevada Day (October 31) because they are both set in Nevada. CC will release “Battle Born Bride” and I will release the fourth book in the “A Sheriff in Nevada” series. More details to follow.

We hope that you enjoy our insights, and we thank you for following along. LYL!
